Simple Crash course tips to get started (The Short version)

Campaign clear for each chapter will unlock starter ship for that race.

You can also unlock in free mode by taking out the captain of those special ship (gate guardian) without destroying the ship

Tip:

1. Defensive drone can help with repair and putting out fire

2. EMP blaster are great for taking out module and disabling guns

3. Skill like battle run on pilot is great for dropping evasion on enemy ships to zero and rapid fire to over wield the shield.

4. Stack skill like Shield expert and 10 hp shield recovery skill to help.

5. Hyper drive (Skills:Here we go) to warp out if thing turn sour

6. Cloak and drone works too Thou it might be abit buggy.

7. Cloak Disable enemy teleport

8. Alt+F4 protect previous save and all you need to do before it sinks. (Only use it if it was your last option as sometime it might corrupt save files) if you can try to warp out.

9. Pilot with maneuvering with hyper drive upgrade can reach 100% evasion

10 .Taertikon crew does not need oxygen or food and is near fireproof if you turn off life support in zero oxygen ship.(Remember to bring medic to revive in case crew dies due to boarding party)
Sadly the captain can't be revive and it is a game over if he dies.

11.Jack Jack can raise Shield and Hyper drive beyond the max limit

12.Bounty mechanics ,The higher your bounty the stronger the encounter, sometime it might be better avoid some fights then to blast through everything.

13.Farming in starting system and avoid leaving the stystem until your battle ready.

14.Avoid area with environmental effect
Solar (Fire)
Pulsar (EMP)
Nebular (Disable sensors)
Asteroid (Punch hole hull breach no oxygen)
Blackhole (Hyperdrive take longer time to charge,-15% evasion)

15.Right click remove energy, left click to add energy to system.

16.Ejecting the crew at start might not be bad idea and might even earn a few weapon unlock

*Only those listed ships can be unlock, all other types of ships cannot be unlock by normal means

My Current Build
As you can see my shield is 480 HP and evasion at 92%.
It works on starter ships as well since most stuff would not shoot past the shield with high evasion.
